WTG, P

"CREAM"???

 

Flessel's first cover for More Fun. The contents include not only a Flessel strip, but also 3 strips by Siegel and Shuster, as well as one by O'Mealia.

That book is as rare as it is beautiful

All.Day.Long.

 

It's interesting how they inserted the "Mar.-" before the April.

New Adventure Comics #25 has the same "Mar-Apr" cover date. Wonder why?

Next to the #24, this is by far my favorite cover of the CDNP title.I have always been shocked that this book isn't in higher demand given the content of the cover.

 

A pedigree pair!

 

 

I wonder who Paul was.

Give it back!

I am once again attempting to put together the early run, 15-39, of New Adventure/Adventure Comics. This time with much stricter grade and PQ requirements. Thanks to all the board members who are already helping!

 

Special thanks to the board member who put me in to this book today!

 

 

Took me about 5 years to find the right copy, you do it in about 5 days!

 

Congrats man!

and here's a new owl cover from last nite. pardon the overlapped book;i've cropped it out, but as per the norm p'bucket is taking some time to realize it.

 

What an awesome cover! I dig it Billy

This thread has been getting a lot of activity lately. I'll join in. This book cannot compare to the Flessel and Flanigan books from an aesthetic standpoint, but it's darn hard to find:

Nice book!

I have seen less copies of the 3 than the 2. That's the highest grade I have ever seen it in too. The Lost Valley is a 2.5 if I remember correctly.

Stunning copy!

 

We are chasing the same books, but I will settle for VGs, so we shouldn't cross paths too much

Thanks Bill!

Yeah I'm not too concerned about it. I'll let you know when I come across those lower grade copies

Beautiful copy Ronaldo. That book is rarely found above vg, but your copy looks like it could be at least a fine.

Thanks buddy!

if you don't have a little western horror in your collection, you aren't trying.

 

I dig it!

Would you post a larger photo of that Wonder #2? Pretty please Billy. With a cherry on top.

Thats my old Curtis copy I had for several years, before selling to Gator! I loved that book. Looks like it got upgraded from a 3.5 to a 4.5, but a downgrade in PQ from OW to cream to OW designation... those are some big swings!

 

Congrats!

Oh wow I remember that book. Always thought 3.5 was a really tight grade.

Wow! Why did I stay away so long??

Yo!

Sup AS!

Wow! Why did I stay away so long??

 

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Billy!!

Wow! Why did I stay away so long??

Busy with a family maybe?

Oh yeah. Hey buddy!!

Wow! Why did I stay away so long??

Great idea to bump this, Scrooge. As a long-time pre-hero Adventure completionist, here are my ball park rankings of the top 10 in order of scarcity:

 

1. New Adventure 13

2. New Adventure 26 and 27 (tied)

4. New Adventure 25

5. New Comics 2 and 3 (tied)

7. New Adventure 12

8. New Adventure 15

9. New Comics 4

10. Adventure 36

 

 

I tried to go past 10, but found it too difficult to distinguish between specific issues. The next grouping would probably be New Adventure 14, 16, 17, 22 and 23. Some of the other issues of New Comics may be more scarce than they appear to be simply because the demand for them is so low that it affects the scarcity perception.

 

 

Spot on buddy!

While I didn't make it to SDCC this year, I did manage to win a long-time grail book last week... TARGET COMICS #8 (D I C K Winters copy, Sparkle City auction). This book is super-elusive, no doubt due in part to its cool grey-tone cover and candy like colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for all the boardies who wished me luck on securing this book! (thumbs u

Well done buddy!!!

Dibs!

2 is a Lou Fine cover. 1 is Tuska. (thumbs u

 

sorry to disagree with you..lou fine inks but there is clearly eisner in that cover.....and maybe they both penciled. but that lady in distress looks suspiciously like ellen dolan from the spirit.

 

the guy in the coffin clearly has a eisner face and hand holding the gun is definitely eisner!

 

ok, who in the betting pool had 7/6/2012 as the day that jamie would for the first time be sorry to disagree with someone? wasn't me, i had sometime in 2036.

mac's cmj covers.

 

You da man!
